Research Description:
My research is focused on improving and quantifying human attention, multi-tasking and distraction using mobile training platforms. Our research is concerned with finding the behavioral effects and neural correlates of perceptual and central processing as well as crossover training benefits on other areas of cognition. We utilize fMRI, EEG, simultaneous fMRI/EEG and neurally-designed gaming paradigms to study our participants.
